Boyer May 8, 2008A lot has happened since
I last updated my biography. I am still living in Columbia but have recently
gotten married (March 2007). My wifes name is Jennifer Boyer.
I have spent the last 4 years working as a high school counselor at North
Callaway HS in Kingdom City, MO. I will be the High School Assistant
Principal next year (08-09). I am finishing up my Ed Specialists
degree in Administration at MU this year.
Lisa
Chapman June 16, 2002After high school I thought
that making money was more important than going to college, so that's what
I did. I was a work-a-holic until I had my daughter in June of '92.
I was a single mom with no support from the father for about 4 years.
I then moved to KC and met my future husband. We lived in Texas for
a little over a year and then moved back to KC. We married in November
of '98 and soon welcomed our daughter in April of '00. My husband
James is a music school teacher in Spring Hill KS and I have been a corporate
travel agent for the past 4 years. We just bought our first home
in November '01 and have the pleasure of traveling quite often. The
Lord has richly blessed us with good health, wonderful family, many close
friends and a terrific church home. God willing we will be adding
to our family again in the very near future. May the Lord bless you
and keep you all. Feel free to email me and I will try to respond
in a timely fashion (as quickly as my girls will allow me the time).Denise
Cox & Mike Riley July 16, 2003Greetings fellow alumni!
Here's an update on the Riley household. We are now living in Springfield,
IL and have been married 11 years. Mike is the Vice President of
Automated Controls, a division of EMCOR and I am doing something that has
been more of a challenge for me than my 10 years of Human Resources--staying
home with our 2 boys Will (age 7) and Nathan (age 3). I also am a
Creative Memories Consultant on the side helping others create rememberable
scrapbooks.In addition to his job
with Automated Controls, Mike is also a Captain in the Air Force Reserves
and is stationed out of Whitman Air Force Base where he is a Commander
for the 442nd Maintenance Operation Flight. In his spare time he
also is the cubmaster of Will's cubscout pack. We would love to hear
from others!Scott
Cornell March 22, 2002Graduated from Univ of
Missouri in 1994 with BA in Communications with minor in Russian Area Studies.

Joanna
Cummins January 5, 2007I have been living in
Colorado since 1991. My husband, Scott, and I will be celebrating
our 15 year wedding anniversary this coming July (2007). We have
three sons - Alan, 7; Todd & Brett 3 years old. I am very thankful
I can stay at home with our boys. I keep plenty busy with our sons
activities and volunteering at school. I enjoy scrapbooking, softball,
sewing and skiing with our 7 year old (hopefully all our boys in 2007).

Patrick
Logan March 21, 2002I spent six years in
the Navy; during that time I was Master Helmsman for two different aircraft

Navy and have been enjoying dry land since 1994.Now I am the Director

Teresa Lorton May 23, 2007I've continued working
for Shelter Insurance in Columbia upon graduating from Hickman in 1987.
I'm married and have one daughter who is 6 years old. We are 'expecting'
another daughter in July of 2007. This will be our last. I've lived
in Boonville with my husband since 1996. He is currently involved
with the Missouri Army National Guard as a part-time soldier and completed
a tour to Afghanistan in 2005. We think about all the families with members
deployed and wish for a successful end to the current war on terror.
Rachelle
Marsh July 3, 2002I am married to my best
friend from high school whom was a sophomore my senior year at Hickman,
Shawn whom was Shawn Dainel then. We have 3 awesome children Clayton who
will be 14 in October of 2002, Shawn II who will be 14 in Janurary 2003,
and Audrey who will 4 in October of 2002. Family has been our focus for
most of the years since high school due to the fact we both were parents
right after graduation. Now that our lives have settled down in the
last 5 years we can continue our education in other feilds to better ourselves.
Something that we had to put on hold when most go on to college right after
graduation.!!! It has been very rewarding to see our children grow up and
we have learned more from that than any college could teach.
We are just enjoying life now and looking forward to the future!!!!
Tracy
Pendleton March 13, 2002Hello Fellow Kewpies!
After Hickman, I attended SMSU and graduated with a BS in Hotel and Restaurant
Administration. I started my career with Marriott at Tan-tar-a.
At which I met my Wife, Megan. After several years at Tan-tar-a and
managing a bar at the Lake of the Ozarks, I returned to Marriott as a Restaurant
Manager at the St. Louis Airport Marriott, Marriott's Evergreen Conference
Resort in Stone Mountain, GA as a Restaurant Manager. As of June 2001,
I am running the Event Department at the South Bend Marriott as the Senior
Event Manager. Megan stays at home with Paige (DOB 10/98) and Trent
(DOB 10/01), a full time job!

Larry
Strawn March 7, 2011As a young man I was
brutally shy so I didn't really have much luck with the ladies. I
played football and ran track and under-achieved academically. 24
years later I have almost 18 years in the Air Force and I'm stationed at
Scott AFB, Illinois near St Louis. My family still lives in Columbia
so I come home most weekends. When I retire from the military in
a couple of years, I will probably move to Columbia and begin a second
career. I am divorced and I have 2 boys ages 12 and 10 who live with
their mother in Washington. So yes I am out there again exploring
the dating scene.
Mark
Whitmarsh July 24, 2007I worked in law enforcement
for over ten years, and on my days off, assisted my father with his business,
a handicapped vehicle and home conversion company.

In order to help my wife
pursue her dreams, we moved to Wilmington, North Carolina so she could
further her career in Nuclear Medicine, taking a job at New Hanover Regional
Medical Center. Wanting to involve myself in the community, I joined the
Coast Guard Auxiliary shortly after settling here.

Looking for a change in
careers I chose to look at Real Estate. Along with the pursuit of my career
in helping others purchase their American dream, I enjoy wood working,
kayaking, reading, am an active member in my church, and a member of C.E.R.T.
(Community Emergency Response Team.)

We love living within
10 min of the beach. We also have a son named Matthew.
Jon
Wilson February 24, 2003Hello everyone.
I am living in Columbia with my wife, Elizabeth Ford (Rock Bridge 1989)
and our 2 girls, Riley and Lindy. We are expecting our third child
in June 2002 and HIS name will be Benjamin. I work as a mortgage
officer for US Bank and Elizabeth is a professor at the University of Missouri.
I spend the majority of my time chasing the girls around and my summer
is filled with alot of softball and now I am coaching Riley's Tball team.
Elizabeth spends most of her time keeping me in line and telling me to
stop playing softball, when she is not doing that she enjoys scrapbooking,
shopping and thinking of new things for me to do around the house.

As we all get older I
find myself thinking about my friends from high school and wonder what
everyone is doing. Please drop me an email and let me know "what's
up."
Jodie
Wright June 3, 2003Hi all. After Hickman
I moved up to KC and went to college. I got an associates degree
in Physical Therapy. I worked and played up there for several years
then I met my husband Jason who is in the same field of work as myself.
We had our miracle baby, Ashlyn and because of Medicare cuts our jobs took
us to Virginia in 1998. It's beautiful here and I would recommend
everyone to visit this area with mountains and beaches within 2 hours either
way. God has blessed us tremendously and continues to daily.
Jason has been called into the ministry and starts school for his Masters
in Divinity this fall. Back in high school, I never would have thought
I would be a preachers wife, but now knowing the grace of God, I wouldn't
have it any other way. God Bless and feel free to email me.
